Actually, the factory ratings are 93 M28 - 360 lb-ft; 93 M29 - 400 lb-ft and 94 and up 450 lb-ft. But many people have exceeded this.

A buddy of mine pushed 750 flywheel HP through a stock T56. rkrause (moderator on this forum) pushed 800 HP through his. My setup (800 HP/800 lb-ft) was originally a T56, but I saw limited track time.

Your problem will not be the power capacity, it will be the life of the synchros and blocker rings, and maybe the forks. There are upgrade parts available for all these components. Try D&D Performance:
